Downtown
Jon and Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could be sipping on tonic and Tanqueray
For all I know you could be staring at your phone
Like I'm staring at the clock on the wall
Just two empty glasses hoping for the same last call
Are you somewhere in a bar downtown
Thinking about me baby, drinking about me baby
Like you are on mine, wishing we could rewind just a little
Laughing at the strangers
When they ask you your sign or your name
While your turning them down 'cause you're thinking about
You and me and you wondering if I'm hanging around
Somewhere in a bar downtown
Are you watching that door
Like I been watching that door all night
Are you acting like I'm acting
Just acting like it's all alright
Are you goin' to different places
Just trying to find my face somewhere in every crowd
Or have you come to the conclusion that this over us illusion
Just ain't working out
Are you somewhere in a bar downtown
Thinking about me baby, drinking about me baby
Am I heavy on your heart right now
Like you are on mine, wishing we could rewind just a little
Laughing at the strangers
When they ask you your sign or your name
While you're turning them down cause you're thinking about
You and me and you wondering if I'm hanging around
Somewhere in a bar downtown
For all I know you could be staring at your phone
Like I'm staring at the clock on the wall
Just two empty glasses hoping for the same last call
Are you somewhere in a bar downtown
Thinking about me baby, drinking about me baby
Am I heavy on your heart right now
Like you are on mine, wishing we could rewind just a little
Laughing at the strangers
When they ask you your sign or your name
While you're turning them down cause you're thinking about
You and me and you wondering if I'm hanging around
Somewhere in a bar downtown
Yeah, oh, oh, oh yeah
Yeah ah
Yeah I'm somewhere in a bar
Somewhere in a bar downtown

Somewhere in a bar downtown
I'm in a specific bar located in the downtown area

¡Qué gran vídeo! El paisaje que grabaste es muy hermoso, qué suerte tienes de estar en lugar tan bonito. Y que bien graba el drone, me gusta mucho, quizás me lo compre, estoy entre este o el Mavic Air 2. Tendré que esperar las comparativas. Felicidades por tu vídeo, me voy a suscribir.

El tamaño es perfecto porque a 249g se puede volar en cualquier lugar sin estar registrado. Lo único que desearía que tuviera era evitar obstáculos de 360 grados. Los drones más grandes generalmente tienen eso, pero donde vivo los árboles son bajos y es fácil de volar.
